About

SaltyReplay is a free and open source replay system for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Because replays are one of the most requested features for MSFS, we are developing a replay system that will be beneficial to the community at no cost.

Disclaimer

SaltyReplay is a work in progress and should not be used outside of testing and development at the moment. This means that not all features are implemented and that there is still a lot of work to be done. Everything you see in this repository as well as in previews is not final, and is subject to change. We do not support use of SaltyReplay yet, and we would not recommend it if you are not a developer.

Major Issues

Replays

• Active pause needs to be activated for the replay to be smooth
• The only data that gets recorded for now is the position, bank angle, pitch, altitude and heading. Other data like gear, flaps, and other external animations will have to be added later. Although switches in the interior are planned in the future, this is one of the least prioritized things right now.

UI

• The replay logic is not currently tied to the UI.
• The CSS is very badly made with too much absolute and relative positioning used, which makes for a non-resizable window for now. Ideally, the CSS should be reworked to allow resizing.
• Routing to different pages is sometimes broken.

Setup for development

Dependencies

• Node.js
• Rust stable

Building

• Execute this command in an administrative command prompt - checknetisolation LoopbackExempt -a -n=Microsoft.Win32WebViewHost_cw5n1h2txyewy (This is required because Edge does not allow loopback by default, which is required by the local development server.)
• Install Node dependencies and start React dev server - npm install npm start
• Start Tauri application - npm run tauri dev
